# Riot police seen training in ethnic Tibetan area of China+

AP
Posted: 2008-03-24 08:40:17
SHANGRI-LA, China, March 24 (Kyodo) - About 1,000 riot police were seen marching in an area populated by ethnic Tibetans in China's southwestern province of Yunnan on Monday, in what appeared to be training in case new violence erupts in the wake of unrest that rocked Tibet and nearby provinces this month.
Equipped with shields and handguns, the riot police were seen breaking up into groups of about a dozen or more and moving in formations.
They repeatedly held their shields in front of them or on top of their heads, apparently to protect themselves in case of any rock-throwing by protestors. The groups were also seen practicing the use of their nightsticks as well as handguns.
The ethnic Tibetan area of northwestern Yunnan neighbors Tibet, which was hit by deadly rioting in mid-March. The violence spilled over into the neighboring provinces of Sichuan and Qinghai as well as Gansu.
